The One - Dogs & Their Owners

The One is a photographic project focused on sharing the lives of European rescue dogs and those that rescue them.

After researching Europes varied view on stray dogs, I wanted to become an advocate for their stories as the love of dogs has always existed in my life. There are millions of stray dogs in Europe, many are often abused or even abandoned to the streets by the humans they used to call family. The majority are viewed as vermin by their human counterparts.

Consisting of a series of found images paired with portraits, this project explores the past stories of stray dogs to finding their forever homes in the UK.

Through this use of portraits of dogs with their new owners, I hope to highlight the people who give these dogs a second chance by opening up their heart and home to them. Hopefully, this will result in a change of perspective on stray dogs from European viewers, that will allow them to live a better and safer life.
